Priced properly with aggresive marketing any home can be under contract in 30 days or less, The Three Things Sellers Need Today Are, EXPOSURE, EXPOSURE, EXPOSURE, if your shopping for a discount broker and you have landed here please keep searching! if your looking to get your home sold for the most money and least amount of time YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE!

Out of the many competetive advantages I have over most of the industry, only one advantage is most important to sellers. EXPOSURE. The question that we answer the most is "How are you going to market my home for sale?" Typically, a realtor has paper marketing (flyers and magazines), Multiple Listing Service (MLS), and word of mouth. You are currently looking at the biggest asset to a real estate company in today's new era of the industry. INTERNET MARKETING.

Statistically, 90% of prospective home buyers start their home search on the internet.

So if there are 20,000 total searches for homes for sale in Nutley, Belleville and Clifton NJ , normally I would receive nearly 10,000 unique visitors of those 20,000 which exposes all of my real estate and listings for sale more so than any other type of marketing.

Nearly 20% of my visitors come from another continent. If you don't think foreign nationals are buying Nutley, Belleville and Clifton NJ property, think again. It is happening frequently every single day. My website is simply a tool for anyone online to view Nutley, Belleville and Clifton NJ homes for sale, most importantly my very own listings.

While I am not sure everyone may know Giuseppe Rossi but for those of you who do not, he is a soccer player for the Italian National team. But the interesting thing is he grew up here in the USA. He was born and raised in Clifton, NJ and at the age of 13 left for Italy to play in the Youth Leagues. He followed his dreams and they came true as he grew into a man. He is hoping to play for Italy in the 2010 Word Cup.

My daughter is an avid soccer player and on Sunday in a soccer tournament in Philadelphia she had the chance to meet Giuseppe. He was in the states for the summer and was watching his little cousin play. What a nice role model he was. With all the attention and the fact he was trying to watch his cousin play, he had the courtesy and class to still be attentive to all the fans. He was down to earth and had no problem talking to us, signing autographs or being in a picture or three.

It is nice to see such positive role models in the world. G - good luck in the 2010 World Cup!

“Are we at the bottom of the Real Estate market at this point in time?” and “How much lower can the prices of homes in Clifton, NJ go?” are probably the two questions that I hear the most from both the buyers and the sellers. My answer is “I do not know”. We all know that there are some models out there showing the prices declining another 10% or even 20% from today. There is also some anecdotal evidence that the market is bottoming at this point. I think the buyers are beginning to see the advantage of buying something now when they compare the rental cost to the purchase cost in our area.

Case in point: I just had a price reduction on a three bedroom Cape Cod in the Albion section of Clifton. See the listing here http://clifton-nj.com/55PlochRd/index.htm. The price was reduced by $15,000 from $289,900 to $275,000. After about a week after the reduction we had five offers on the table. Five offers in this market isn’t this something!

After that, I ran the numbers for a purchase of this home with 20% down ($55,000 down, $220,000 mortgage at 5% interest $5,600 for tax and $800 for insurance) and compared it to a rental situation (I think this home should rent for $1800 per month). Even at the full price purchase the total payment comes to $1,713. Now add the $7,500 government incentive and this looks really good for a buyer.

I just updated my sold statistics for Clifton, NJ and no surprise there; the prices are again sliding down. In the past three months single-family homes in Clifton lost about 3% of their value. The annual decline is about 11% (from November of 2007). There were only 20 closings for single-family homes in November 2008. This is an extremely low number for Clifton even at this time of a year. Another, disappointing news was that the average time on the market increased to 93 days from 77 days one month ago. Also the statistics show the difference between the average asking price in November which was $351,000 and average Sold Price of $322,000 increased dramatically. The difference is equal to 8.3%. This number is really alarming since it usually stays around 3-4% (in 2007 the average was around 4% and until October 2008 the average was around 4.5 %.) This high number means that there are many sellers willing to substantially cut the price in order to unload the property.

I have been selling homes since 1996 and to be honest with you I have never seen such a market in our area. What is even worse that there are some real estate models, from well respected sources, showing the prices in the New York City Metropolitan area declining another 15% to 20% in the next 18 months. The news is bad for sellers. The buyers on the other hand... :)
